Summary
In a world that often seems stingy and grudging, Debbie Macomber has seen that living in a spirit of kindness and charity can yield unforeseen miracles. In One Simple Act, Macomber shows how lives are changed in unimaginable and wonderful ways by "random acts of kindness," providing real stories to help readers discover what happens when we commit simple acts of generosity. Through her masterful power of story, she inspires readers to have a lasting and life-changing impression on those around them simply by sharing the gifts they have: time, encouragement, hope, laughter, prayer, and even forgiveness
